There are numerous LED lighting fixtures that work well for outdoor wall or perimeter lighting. Read on below for various fixtures.

Wall Packs

As their name suggests, wall packs are typically mounted to a wall. Wall packs are used to illuminate buildings, walkways, and parking lots. They are usually installed near entrances and exits to ensure safe passage when arriving and leaving a building. Wall packs offer bright light, and many are equipped with a photocell to make it dusk-to-dawn for safety and security.

Wall packs are available in numerous styles including tall wall packs, traditional or classic wall pack designs, full cut-off, half and semi cut-off, and slim profile designs like mini wall packs. LED wall packs boast many benefits over the old HID styles that use bulbs like metal halides, mercury vapor, or high-pressure sodium. LED wall packs maintain their light consistency and do not yellow over the course of their lifespan. LEDs are also instant on and flicker-free. No more waiting for the light to warm up! What are you waiting for? Upgrade those old HID styles now with LEDs outside of your office buildings for less maintenance with their longer lifespan and provide better security and aesthetics.

What is the best lighting for the outside of a retail store or space?

The best lighting for the outside of a retail store or space is best determined by what the goal of the lighting is and where the lighting is needed. If lighting is needed near entrances and exits, a wall pack is a great option. LEDs are always the best option because they are instant on, flicker free, and have high color accuracy. Dusk to Dawn lighting or motion-activated is another type of lighting that should be considered.

The needs of the particular property should also be considered. If a property is located in a rural area, a bright light will be necessary for visibility when it is dark out. But, if the business is located in an urban area that is already well-lit, a softer light would work better because there is already an abundance of bright light for security and safety purposes.

What kind of lighting is most commonly used for the exteriors of commercial buildings?

LED lighting is most commonly used for the exteriors of commercial buildings. It requires minimal maintenance and there are numerous fixtures to choose from including decorative, functional security or wall pack fixtures. These lights can provide bright, even lighting as well as safety and security.
